Representative McComas is max
ing some inquiry into the subject of
the construction of public buildings
by the government, with a view to
preparing a bill which he proposes
to introduce in the House next win
ter. He contends that general law
should govern the erection of public
buildings, based on the principle
which controls the establishment of
the various grades of postoftices.
Political influence and personal IA
vortism often outweigh the business
requirements of certain cities and
towns. and Congressman who have
been fortunate enough to secure pub
lie buildings for their respective dis
tricts are often persuaded against
their better judgment to vote for bills
with little or no merit. Mr.. Nc
Comas's bill proposes to establish a
general rule requiring every city or
town in which it is proposed to erect
a postonce, custom or court house,
to show that certain amount of bus
mess is transacted, and the limit Of
the appropriation will be graded ac-
cordingly. A castiron rule of this
character will do away with the log
rolling practice, and will also prevent
much ill.feeling between rival towns
Ito say nothing of the stimulation
,triven to business in various localities.

The General Trade Review.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'s weekly trade review says:
1t is becoming more generally real
lied that the Interstate Commerce
bill is. for the time, affecting business
unfavorably, in some branches. as in
the movement of dry goods to the
west. The temporary furry and
greater activity results from desire
to transport before the coming change
of rates. But in other trades uncer-
tainty as to the future rates produces
almost paralysis which is rendered
more serious in the iron business by
the question whether railway build
ing and repairing may not be check
ed. Many vaguely looked for bet
ter understanding of the act when
the commissioners are announced,
but the commissioners will have to
await the decisions of many courts
before they can know what power
they have. Hence, it can hardly be
hoped that the uncertainty regarding
Tire effects of the act will be soon re-
moved. Probably the great Balti-

European purchases are again of

the state of the bank reserves render
such an operation entirely impos.

GOOD WORK BY THE POLICE.
The Man Who Robbed the Chilian
Minister Captured.

Sergeant HARRISON heard dis tress call
about 8 O'Clock yesterday morning, which
he found was blown by the Gillian minis
ter, Senior Don Domingo Cana, Of 1904 G
street. The officer learned In few min
ntes that the minister's house had been
robbed Of 1000 worth Of diamonds and Of
jewelry. Suspicion rested upon dis
charged servant named francisco B. da
Silva, a colored man, 81 years old. Lieut..
Guy was notified immediately. of the
robbery, and he sent two officers to each of
the railroad depots. At 1880 o'clock Off
GERS Rogers and McGlue arrested Silva at
the Baltimore and Potomac depot, where
he had bought ticket for New York, aud
was about ready to board train. The prls-
oner was taken to the station house, and
all the stolen property was found on him
or the $50 taken, only $40 Of It was re-
covered. The thief broke into
the house by a basement window.
and went directly to the minister's bed
room and took the keys from Nine. Gana's
dress that opened the receptacle where the
iewelry was secreted. He ransacked the
jewel cases and carried away the contents.
He was very fond Of the minister's little
daughter when employed at the legation,
and she was aleep in the bedroom with her
parents. Silva kissed the sleeping girl
to cry out, "Mamma |" "Mamma l'' The
cries also awoke her father and mother, aud
on arising they discovered the robbery. The
burglar also took a valuable oyercoat be-
longing to the minister. The senior recog-
nized Silva at the station house as the man
he had discharged from his employ about
month ago. He suspected the man of steal
ing money from him, but could not get
proof strong enough to punish him. He
gave Silva money enough to pay his pas
sage home to Rio, and thought that he
was in New York city. Minister Cana was
very grateful for the quick recovery of the
jewelry by the officers, and thanked them
for their good work. The police last night
felt very proud of the capture of the burglar,
and Officers Rogers and McGlue were the
recipients Of many compliments. A ques-
tion whether Silva could be prosecuted for
burglary arose, and Lieut.. Guy held an In
terview with the assistant secretary of state
relative to the matter. Silva is Brazilian
subject, and his conviction of his crime can,
1t is believed, be done at the instance OF
Minister Cana, whom he robbed.

WATCH NIGHT MEETINGS.
Seeing the Old Year Out and the New
One In.

watch night meeting was held last night
at the McKendree NJ. E. Church, Massachusetts,
avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets.
The meeting was not very largely attended,
but 1t made up in interest and feryor what 1t
lacked in numbers. An hour or more of the
time was spent in singing and prayer, after
which. the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Richardson, de-
liyered short discourse, taking his text from
Mathew, "a: 10. And the door was shut" The
last half an hour was devoted to the giving of
experiences. Then followed the singing of
hymn No. 945, commencing
"Come let us use the grace divine,
And all with one accord
In perpetual covenant Join
Ourselves to Christ, the Lord"
During the singing of this hymn the whole
AS the clock marked the entrance of the
New Year the Rev. Mr.. Richardson said "I
wish you all happy new year. and pray
life," and closed the meeting with the bene.
The Sunday school room of the Metropolitan
NJ. 4. church was crowded last evening, the
majority OF the audience being young men
who had come to watch the old year out and
welcome the new one in. Rev DR.. Newman
said the year Of 's6 was in some respects the
most remarkable OF the century, and urged
upon the. audience the consideration of the
opportunity for beginning a new life. Singing
and "experiences' took up the time until Prof.
widows rang out the old year on the chimes,
